Monkees - Season Two Reviews
Nice to have it, could be better
I agree with some other reviewers that the sound and picture quality on some of the episodes is pretty shoddy.
But my biggest complaint is the packaging. Very cute, but completely impractical. Whatever glue is holding the "sleeves" together just doesn't work (three of the five are already breaking) and the "record player" box is so broken that it looks like it should be holding a fast food burger rather than a set of dvds. I plan to replace the packaging with some real DVD boxes as soon as I get a chance.
Great shows, but sound quality not so great...
I've had this set for a while, but finally got around to watching them just recently, as I was working my way through the first season. I actually enjoy the second season episodes to the first, but I was disappointed at the sound quality of the music. Rhino owns the original master to the Monkees recordings, and could easily have improved on the sound over the original 16mm prints, but unfortunately didn't. The music clips on most episodes sound muffled and distorted. This is especially true for the "Rainbow" performances, the end-of-show music videos that feature the Monkees lip syncing to their songs. I didn't notice this on the audio of the first season shows. How hard would it have been to overdub the stereo recordings to these clips? On the plus side, the picture quality was generally excellent, and the inclusion of the rare 33 & 1/3 special (with very good audio) makes this worth recommending. However, I was still disappointed at this set from Rhino, a label with a usually excellent track record
